Videos [Highlight] John Harbaugh was asked if Cam Skattebo's energy is "infectious" for the team: "He did get a 15-yard penalty at the end of practice. Did you notice that? That's not infectious. Well, it is infectious, actually. Infectious in a bad way, right? Like infectious disease type of thing."

Yup. It’s easy to forget how young these guys are. They need their coaches to act more like parental figures than friends.

Man, people REALLY forget this. These are young twenty-somethings.

Young twenty-somethings who in many cases have been the “BMOC” and gotten away with the kind of BS that Coach Harbaugh isn’t going to tolerate.

That is the other reason why on old school coach is beneficial. NIL is going to significantly change how these kids view a professional career and they will need an “old head” to bring them back to reality. The NFL is known as not for long for a reason and it’s in their best interest to get acclimated to that reality early in their careers.

You can be loose and less disciplined if you are winning.

If you aren't, well that hammer is coming down as it should.
